For an ACPI device you want to use _PRS and _SRS.  _PRS will give you a list 
of candidate resource sets, possibly in groups via DPF tags.  You then build 
a resource and do an _SRS to set it.  The problem is that our ACPI bus isn't 
smart enough to allocate resources for a device when bus_alloc_resource() is 
called to choose available resources when a device is not configured.  This 
is similar to how you fixed the PCI bus recently to allocate resources for 
BARs that weren't already allocated by the BIOS.
